    I've picked up a nice pair of OMP 348 Challenge carbon / red fabric seats that I'm planning to fit into the TR whilst I refurb the existing leather ones this Summer.

    Anyone fitted anything similar temporary or otherwise? Any fixing issues to take note of?

    I have a Ferrari carbon fiber challenge type seat which has leather on the sides and alcantara for the seat cushion and back cushion. The cushion portions were just a piece of foam which alcantara on one side and the other side was glued to the carbon fiber seat. I pulled on the back cushion and released the glue. I then placed an inflatable bladder between the carbon back and the foam for lumbar support. It was just a cheapo lumbar bladder with a bulb type inflator but it works well. Other than that the unit bolted directly to car. However, my unit came with rails. If yours does not have rails, you might want to post in the 348 section to see if someone has adapted a racing seat without rails to a stock 348. Good luck.

    Andrew, I looked in my photos and don't see any pictures of the seat installed. If you want a photo I will take a picture of it and post it later. Take Care.
